Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2687

Andrew chuckled. "He is pretty interesting. He's actually the only normal person we've run into since entering the Advanced Medical Institute."

Eric replied dismissively, "Even so, all I can say is he's asking for death. Sometimes, keeping your head down is necessary. Unfortunately, this kid's too naive. When you're surrounded by wolves but show you're a sheep, that in itself is a crime."

Andrew replied flatly. "You're right. Being weak is a crime in itself. But not everyone can always maintain a position of strength. Everyone has moments when they're vulnerable and helpless."

Eric responded with cold indifference. "So what? Being weak, getting toyed with, getting killed; that's just the natural order of things. Being weak and stubborn, unable to read the situation, looking for death… People like that only get what they deserve."

Andrew did not argue with him because Eric clearly had his own inner demons.

Perhaps once upon a time, Eric had faced the same situation as Jovan. Now, he has survived and grown stronger. Hence, seeing Jovan was like looking at his former self. That was why he was angry at Jovan's death wish and naivety.

Andrew understood this perfectly. After all, he was once in a position of weakness before.

Jovan finally reached the front and grabbed Koda's greatsword, though he struggled to even hold it, almost losing his grip. His shaky grip drew another round of boos and mocking laughter.

The rough men in the hall were drunk, and whether they were used to brawling or worse, this kind of twisted show got them riled up.

They cheered with wild excitement.

Koda smirked. "Go on. As long as you cut off your ears, I'll grant your wish."

Jovan trembled nonstop as he fought to suppress his terror. Finally, with great difficulty, he raised the heavy sword and positioned it near his ear.
